Introducing Not Norm

Charles and Hudson is pleased to announce a new project of ours called Not Norm.

Although we aspire to be as skilled, polished, and good looking as the Do-It-Yourself experts on TV, we most often end up with results that are only worth photographing or recording because of the horror and hilarity that has ensued (see above video).

But no matter how strange your finished project looks or how bad your DIY technique is, this site should make you realize that it's OK if you're Not Norm.

We also understand it's not always the amateurs who make mistakes so you'll find the work of plenty of pros who should still be in training.

Please share photos and videos of you or your neighbors favorite home improvement follies, fumbles, or the just plain bizarre by either email or add them to our Flickr photo pool and our favorites will be shared for the world to laugh/cry with you.

    I think a t-shirt is in order here. Because I can definitely relate to feeling "Not Norm" sometimes. :)
  • Don't we all!
  • Thanks for bringing some levity to home improvement. Sometimes we sure need to step back and laugh at ourselves or others.
  • Replaced the unit shown (shamed into doing so) with a $179 stainless steel unit with 3 burners and a side warmer from a place here called Big Lots. Discovered a challenge as I thought a conversion kit was available to go from LPG to natural gas. Not so, the company told us. If you are ever told this, don't believe them. There is a conversion chart that tells one how much larger to drill the venturi openings...it will be a drill bit with a number designation such as 50 or 52. Do this, and any LPG rated BBQ is good to go to use natural gas.
